Does anyone else with UC experience a feeling of fullness after eating a big meal, well bigger than what I am used to. I have been used to eating smaller meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and ate a bigger than normal lunch today consisting of a fish sandwich and some chips and some soda. And that was around 12:30 and I still fill full. I guess that is good in a way, as I've stayed hungry all the time due to eating way less. And the great thing about it, I was able to eat and not hurt afterwards. My gut is tight with air but I even had ketchup on the sandwich which I have been avoiding anything acidic like that and drank some pepsi and have had no heartburn. I have always been scared of the feeling full symptom as they have always listed it as a symptom of this kind of cancer or that kind of cancer. But when one is used to eating less for every meal and then has a bigger meal they are going to feel full. But the great thing I have avoided today is the catch in my side, so far. It might show up tonight later. Thought it was earlier but it didn't.

You are right At Wit's End, I find that eating too much at once leaves me feeling horrible, so I've really learned to eat small portions so that I don't get the "feel" feeling. I eat about 6-10 meals a day, depending on exercise. After eating, you might want to go for a short walk just to help you digest your food. Hope this helps.Carol
